About the Report

This Sustainability Review 2014 provides a glimpse into the Bank's new strategic path and reviews key happenings of this past year, complementing the World Bank's annual financial report. It covers the reporting period from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014. The financial data comes from the Annual Report; the non-financial data includes elements of social, environmental, and economic aspects of our work identified through our materiality assessment. The GRI index, in addition to our previous reports, is available under the GRI Index tab.

This Review covers the World Bank which consists of two agencies: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Except for the eligibility of support and terms of lending to member countries, the agencies are tightly integrated and work as a single unit. Reference to the World Bank Group is made when work or data encompasses the World Bank, as well as its sister agencies: the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
